Re: [Biborb-general] trouble shooting questions

[Feiyi Wang]

Excellent, both problems have been solved.  Many thanks

For the second problem, XSLT not enabled, it turns out I have to install 
sablot, rebuild from source rpm since the distribution I am using 
(Fedora) do not have this built-in. So I am now able to insert entry.

Two extra questions pop out now:

Three menu items: export to HTML, export to bibtex, and update from 
bibtex don't have any output (take you to a blank page), no error output 
either.

I was assuming "update from bibtex" is like some sort of *import* 
funtion, where I can upload my previous bibtex file, but it shows nothing

I did notice there is a .bib file generated in directory bibs/ (not html 
output anywhere), but I was expecting you will be prompted to save a 
exported bibtex file, am I understanding this correct?
